First of all, I really did try the search function...and it came up empty! I am sure that somewhere over the past year this has come up, but I can't find any reference..so here is my question. Has anyone taken the Celta course offered by IH in Chiang Mai? Positives? Negatives?

Can't recommend them, as l have no knowledge of them. However l can recommend the course offered by TEFL lnternational. They have a branch in Bangkok and one in Ban Phe. Ban Phe has the added advantage of being right beside Koh Samet, so the weekend breaks are a little bit easier to take. l took this course myself in November and l have no hesitation in recommedning it. lt also some some features that make it more attractive to people who have never taught before, as it is a bit more user friendly.
PM me if you want more details or look up their website for info - teflintl.com
Thanks folks. That link, wayne16, is very interesting and certainly has given me food for thought about what my options are.
